I'm running those exact shocks on all 4 corners and it's the best handling car I own. They work great
I have KYB on my sedan, very nice ride
For me Sachs is the way to go for original quality and driving dynamics. I have Sachs on all 4 corners on both my W124s and they are great.
I've use the KYBs several times, they have a good street ride.
For shocks I’d probably run a KYB AGX with a pedders spring if you can’t get something like an eibach
BUT op if I were you, I'd replace just the shocks (keep the Sachs springs) and replace with OE Sachs shocks (struts) Bilstien also makes yellows with OE ride height i believe, that would be the best street ride quality.
Other KYB parts are pretty good. Used KYB shocks in other cars in the past.
Cheapest shocks are gonna be KYB shocks, they are alright
It seems most suggest KYB, but I have only found the Gabriel's to come loaded. Don't think I'm willing to add expenses by buying new parts to load the KYB. Price on the a Gabriels seems right at about $200ish all around so I'll likely bite on that one.
I would rebuild the struts with new KYB shocks and retain the OEM springs and buy new OEM mounts. I have had terrible luck with quickstruts in a Lexus.
